Piracy is liberation – serie

Terror strikes the City, and Pirate seems to be the terrorist! Or is this finally the start of the revolution? As the City is gearing up for war, two girls walk its streets looking for action and trying to figure out what actually happened. How will our anarchist heroes deal with this situation as the equivalent to nationalist tendencies grip the population? What happens in a City where war has been an unknown concept, as its billboards are filling up with WANTED posters and military propaganda and the army recruitment centers are opening up for business? Who is the enemy? 10 year in the making, this 12th book in the Piracy is Liberation series finally takes us back to the City for 212 pages of a brand new story about a society on the brink of war.

The City is firing sentient smart-missiles against terrorists hiding in the previously unknown desert. But who is this outer enemy? Using metamagic, Purple learns how to fly and takes Information and Erica on an expedition to find out, but the truth comes with unexpected dangers. Piracy is Liberation mixes classic cyberpunk elements in a dystopian future with a glimmer of postapocalyptic hope and a pinch of metamagic. Weighing in at 236 pages, this book continues the story started in Piracy is Liberation 012: Outer Enemy.

Piracy is liberation is set in the far future. After the apocalypse came true (not necesserily the biblical one, but the one that it was an interpretation of), the world and humankind has restarted. They are still taking their first steps, but unsure of what direction to go. The old world is dead, long live the new flesh!

Set a year after Information Wants to be Free, we follow Pirate and Information as they rejoin the fight for freedom in the City that's become synonymous with the world to its inhabitants. Back in the free and illegal flow of information after a year without it, Pirate and Information are almost overwhelmed, but that's ok. It's part of the high. Technograph visits the old people in the desert outside the city, and a whale passes through the City's airspace. This all leads up to an event of great importance for the resistance. It is the beginning of something new. A seed for the future.

Another powerful story in the piracy is liberation saga. Erica is a slave, toiling away at the machine. She has family, friends and food on the table. What does she want with freedom? But something is happening. A voice calling itself Information is saying there could be more. More than the chains and wires of the machine. The Masters don´t take kindly to rebellion though, and soon Erica will find out what the machine actually does...

More inspiring cyberpunk postapocalypse! The Class 4 Drivers go on strike, but taking on the Work Control police force is dangerous. Someone could die! This book also contains the follow-up on the events in book 001: Information Wants to be Free. What consequences are there to being a copy of oneself? And what exactly is Metamagic?

What happens when the rules suddenly change, when law and order are put out of the picture? When the police can do nothing but watch as people party in the streets? What happens when even the rules of reality can be broken? What does it mean to go Outside for the first time? These are stories from the Free Section and beyond...

The Free Section is being evicted and violence erupts, on both societal and individual levels. Information_copy has been captured by the Infopolice, but can their interrogator break her? The keepers of the violence monopoly do their best as usual to enforce order and control and they are stronger, have better weapons. So who will win in the end? Can there even be a winner?

The gods are real, but most of them are dead. Pirate learns this and many more secrets from the anarchists in the desert as he gets his new assignment. Something is moving on the net. Some kind of entities seem to be interfering with its users. Are these signs of the birth of a new god, or is it something else entirely? And how does it affect the plans for the Information Upgrade that the anarchists are planning? We also get some insight into everyday religious life in the City through the surveillance cameras of a Shopping Temple...

More Spiders! More adventures in the deeper reaches of the information sea! Also in this issue: A look into the halls of power (what does it take to become Master of the Week?)! Life on the street level (what's life like when you don't need to pay rent?)! Theological discussions (is it ok to kill a potential semi-god?)! Timetravel (can Technograph change the past?)! Will Purple survive beta-testing the Information Upgrade (and what might she wake up by doing it?)? Don't miss the conclusion to the Spiders story!

Pirate is an information addict. When he recieves a cry for help: 'Information wants to be free', he has to find out what it means. Only problem is that the infopolice are hot on his trail, so he has to run and avoid falling in the same trap that Information did. Piracy is liberation is set in the far future. After the apocalypse came true (not necesserily the biblical one, but the one that it was an interpretation of), the world and humankind has restarted.
